In this thesis some multivariate spectroscopic methods for the analysis of solutions are proposed. Spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis form a powerful combination for obtaining both quantitative and qualitative information and it is shown how spectroscopic techniques in combination with chemometric data evaluation can be used to obtain rapid, simple and efficient analytical methods. The...

near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. typical applications include medical and physiological diagnostics. nirs can be used for non-invasive assessment of brain function through the intact skull in human subjects by detecting changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations associated with neural activity, e.g., ...

we report a 73-year-old woman with primary left atrial rhabdomyosarcoma and its 1h mr spectroscopy (mrs) findings. the tumor showed a 2.8 cm sized lesion in the posteroinferior atrial wall on mri. 1h mr spectra were acquired using a point-resolved spectroscopy (press) sequence with electrocardiographic (ecg) gating and respiratory motion. the use of 1h-mrs allowed the quantification of triglyce...

objective: the use of hema as a biocompatible material in dentin bonding systems and its potential for clinical applications has been well established. excess water can affect conversion of bonding resins. the aim of this study was to survey the effect of water on the degree of conversion of hema by fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ft-ir). materials and methods: in this experimental st...

diagnosis of infected and affected dentine is an important factor in clininal restorative treatment of dentine. in this study, the ir and raman spectra of the sound dentine, infected dentine and affected dentine are reported. the structure of infected dentine and affected dentine has been compared with the sound dentine and hydroxyapatite. it is shown while the infected dentine has lost its str...

in the surgical treatment of malignant tumors, it is crucial to characterize the tumor as precisely as possible. the determination of the exact tumor location as well as the analysis of its properties is very important in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis as early as possible. in neurosurgical applications, the optical, non-invasive and in situ techniques allow for the label-free analysis o...

introduction: raman spectroscopy, that is a spectroscopic technique based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, can provide valuable information about molecular vibrations, so using this technique we can study molecular changes in a sample. material and methods: in this research, 153 raman spectra obtained from normal and dried skin samples. baseline and electrical noise were eliminat...
